“…Today, naturally occurring immunoglobulin of all shapes and sizes have been discovered in mammals (IgG, IgE, IgA, IgD, and IgM), and numerous other formats occur throughout the animal kingdom (eg, IgY from birds, single-domain antibodies from camelids, and heavy-chain-only antibodies from cartilaginous fish). 7 Apart from naturally occurring antibody formats, combinatorial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology has facilitated the development of recombinant antibodies such as fragment variable (Fv), disulfide-stabilized Fv antibody fragment, single-chain fragment variable (scFv), fragment antigenbinding (Fab), single-chain antibody fragment, divalent antibody formats such as minibody, diabody, F(ab′) 2 and (scFv) 2 , and multivalent forms such as tetrabodies, triomabs, triabodies, and F(ab) 3 . 8,9 Overview of conventional methods Selective antibody purification is commonly carried out using affinity chromatography or affinity-tag-based chromatography.…”
